Slight distraction, Nod's fault! o/

Journal Entry: Sat May 4, 2013, 1:23 PM
Stargate fever has gripped me once again..... although tbh it never left haha :la:

I'm currently adapting a full art Pokemon template to be used with Stargate. Much like my Zelda cards I randomly made a while ago, I'm going to merge Stargate with the Pokemon TCG mechanics; in as many ways as possible.

New icons are in the works currently (Goa'uld one is done and is looking VERY shiny when resized to the templates size) Using my archive of Stargate Worlds icons and symbols (an MMORPG that sadly never made it to launch for those that were wondering.)

Who knows, Nod and I may even end up collaborating :o

I think its time!

That I made the HGSS era blanks.

Tbh I only have the border which I started almost 2 years ago, so we'll start with that hey lol :la: - I've no idea when I'll fully get into them, or how long they'll take, but it seems that era is all thats left blanks wise now.

However before that, I should really get the remainder Team Plasma ones done for the BW sets. EX, SR EX, Basic and Stage 1 are needed.

Genesect EX, it cometh ...

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 16, 2013, 3:10 PM
My first normal EX card since Dec 2012 (scary I know!) is nearly done.

I just can't believe I haven't done one for that long. Last one I did was Zekrom EX, if you don't include Full Art style cards (with all the fancy textures).

I'm hopefully getting it proof read soon, as everyone knows I am hideous with the attack side of things and then......the part everyone also knows.... the part where I zoom in at max and poke at every pixel across the card! :squee:

Oh by the by, its on my Rocket Blanks, so shiny purple here we come!

Slight Neglect

Journal Entry: Wed Mar 27, 2013, 2:40 AM
I'm still alive! Just had next to no time to do anything... so here's a slight catch up.

# Have gone back to playing on World of Warcraft, so sustain my need for online games heh (previously Age of Empires Online, Command & Conquer: Tiberian Alliances and the odd other, waiting to see what Elder Scrolls Online is like) - HUGE timesink this game be, still.

# Have decided to start making the public version of my Ancient Origin blanks. These things will take a while due to how complex they are (for the ancient cards specifically how many variations of the weakness/resistance icons etc) But its getting there slowly.

# The resource wiki I check now and again, but the host is either broke or VERY slow nowadays; so with that in mind I may go back to using this site for uploads. Speaking of, what settings are people using to upload .rar or .zip files of late? Reason I ask is because it won't let me upload anything other than image file types, on the odd times I've tried (even though I use the same settings now, as I did when I started years ago)

Pokemon X/Y Info I Found

Journal Entry: Tue Mar 19, 2013, 5:02 PM
# Main characters are Jean and Jane; names are non-customizable
# Trainer now appears in the bottom screen during battle, with a speech bubble interface holding the trainer commands inside
# Trainers now have their own leveling system that affects how in-game NPCs react to you and grants various bonuses such as increasing capture rate and the rarity of Pokémon encountered
# A new key item called the Whistle can be used once per battle with differing effects, such as waking up a Pokémon or snapping it out of confusion.
# A bond level replaces the happiness meter from past games; higher bond levels grant bonuses such as experience or stat gain for Pokémon. Bond level bonuses and the whistle feature can be turned off in PvP matches for the benefit of competitive play
# A new item called the Bond-EYE that resembles a pair of sunglasses allows players to view the nature of wild Pokémon and their capture rate
# The Bond-EYE also allows players to see visual avatars of other players and send them messages or trade and battle requests; this feature, akin to the Miiverse function in Nintendo Land, will be the first of its kind on the 3DS
# Wireless co-op is now possible, with one player being the leader and the other aiding in battle
# Players not able to play cooperatively will be allowed to request aid from NPC trainers in their adventures via a juice bar located in every town
# The PokéDex resembles a tablet with a 3D display that allows players to view Pokémon models, read full paragraph descriptions of them, hear their cries, view their locations, compare their sizes and weights with others, and read comments made by other trainers around the world about them
# Excess money can be stored in banks that grant interest and special gifts upon depositing certain amounts
# Using a special wristwatch device, players can travel 30 years into the past which features different characters, younger versions of current characters, different layouts, and different wild Pokémon
# The rival faction is Team Gear whose members wear purple bodysuits with black clock hands on them; they mess with events in the past that affect the present
# In one part of the game, you must catch a Munchlax in the past to clear the road of a Snorlax in the future, suggesting that past generations of Pokémon will be available from the start
# The professor is Professor Bristle and the rival is Ricki, a magazine writer who documents the strange events occurring in the past
# The new generation consists of 99 new Pokémon, many of them baby Pokémon (something Leviathyn writer Ray G. doesn't want to see) and new evolutions of current Pokémon
# Sylveon is a Normal Pokémon that evolves based on the new bond level; it is the only new Eeveelution
# There will be a total of six legendary Pokémon that include Xerneas (Psychic/Rock) and Yveltal (Ghost/Flying) along with four black and white Pokémon based on card suits: a cobra with a heart-shaped hood and tail, a tiger with diamond patterns, a t-rex with spade-shaped eyes, and a peacock with a club-shaped tail
# Most of the brand new Pokémon will be new type combinations such as Fire/Ice and Dark/Electric (something Leviathyn writer Ray G. does want to see)
# The types of the final evolutions of the starter Pokémon will be Grass/Flying, Fire/Psychic, and Water

Xerneas! /shakes fist *updated*

So hard to draw (with only a mouse) but I shalt prevail!.......

Doing the line art atm and its proving to be rather annoying atm, so many bumps and oval shapes on this one. We'll see how it looks when I eventually get it done, then if all goes well...... 3D style for it! :D

Edit :

So finally got around to finishing the image/lineart, am now onto trying to make it appear 3D and as usual that'll take an age; don't do many of these due to time taken lol ... Anywho sneak peak on some antlers!

Edit 2 :

Ok so 3D was taking FAR too long and I freaking hate trying to make it look right. So! Back to Dream World style we go and this time its working out alot better! :D

Journal Entry: Wed Oct 17, 2012, 2:24 PM
Ta for the PM's asking if I am still going, yes I am lol..

I'm playing alot on Age of Empires Online (new update soon) so cards always take a minor backseat for my online gaming. The Galactic card templates are pretty much done now, to the point where I am 99% happy with how they look (the ultra rare ones are especially spangly!)

No idea when they'll start to appear though, as I plan to do all the art myself and for the people that know me ...... I am very specific with that stuff and it takes an age :D

If it looks like they'll be a very long running set, I'll probably upload blanks as and when I can, then do it that way.

New giant blank example tomorrow!

Journal Entry: Tue Oct 2, 2012, 3:05 PM
A holofoil Pikachu will be uploaded tomorrow, showing off my rather large new blanks.

These new blanks merge e-cards with todays BW style EX, SR EX, Full Arts etc, with the newest Plasma Gale designs and a new EX rule box (to fit in too)

Pikachu is first, then a full art Lugia afterwards, which took me all day to do! Damn textures and shinies!

- - - - - - - -

After that I need to make the symbolsheet and can then upload the cards for people to check out, should they wish too.

Gym Revival, slowly but surely!

Journal Entry: Tue Sep 11, 2012, 8:38 AM
Again ta muchly for all your submissions thus far!

As expected there are more spoilers appearing than art, so if anyones got any images relevant to the checklist (see last and previous ournal entries) then do yell! :)

We got 8 done so far, with about 8 or 9 spoilers already sent, 8 or so more en route and the odd art.

Gym Revival, HUGE responce!

Journal Entry: Mon Sep 3, 2012, 2:57 AM
Well I am totally gobsmacked by the responce I've had from my last journal entry, HUGE thanks for that people! :)

To that end I've made this extra journal entry outlining submission procedures, so I don't unknowingly confuse anyone, as I tend to do that lol....

# Checklist & various info here ----> Gym Revival, art and spoilers needed!Thought I'd open up this set to any budding artists out there and ofc anyone who likes making spoilers (thats hp amounts, attacks, etc) for cards! :la:
The details are as follows :
# 83 cards in total. 2 Extra special ones making it 85.
# Layout, HP, etc are based on the latest BW series, spoilers and such should follow suit.
# Only Basic, Stage 1, Stage 2 and EX blanks exist.
Legend :
strikethough = completed / C = common / U = uncommon / R = rare / H = rare holo / EX = EX / SR = Super Rare EX
please note, all EX and SR EX card art is sorted, all others are open
Heres the checklist :
- 01 - [C] Cheren's Patrat
- 02 - [U] Cheren's Watchog
- 03 - [C] Cheren's Lillipup
- 04 - [U] Cheren's Herdier

# Anyone who would like to submit any art for the cards, as well as spoilers (to which I am grateful for any there!) can do so via a PM on here.
# I'll be making the cards themselves as I have the master .PSD
# Illustrators will be credited on the card itself and anywhere they are uploaded by myself. Be it on deviantart, Poke Beach, etc.
# Spoiler writers will also be credited on any place said card is uploaded.
# Theres no timeframe for submissions, tis a big community project and everyone should take their own time doing something they love.
# Multiple submissions for cards are accepted and encouraged for variety. I may even upload variations of each card should there be more than one of each.
# To reiterate the previous journal - the spoiler layout is the BW TCG era, so be mindful of HP vs rarity vs attack damage etc
# With me working alot as well, some cards may take longer to do than first anticipated, but don't fret I will do them when the time appears! :D

Again though, a HUGE thank you to everyone whose shown an interest, tis a great feeling to know alot of people are excited and want to be involved with something like this; and who knows, the next custom set I do (or next official blanks set) I may even do it again! :)

Blanks

Journal Entry: Sun Aug 5, 2012, 8:34 AM
Really didn't want to have to post this, but yet again I'm finding my blanks being used, edited, overlapped with random rubbish, copyrights removed so on and so forth - without permission (as stated on the resource site, blank download read me files, etc)

To that end, I'm leaning towards not releasing anymore blanks in the future to the public. And maybe having them released only by a request-based system.

I'd hate to have to do that as I make them to people to enjoy and such. But if people are only going to mess them around, remove things which they have no permission to do so and then state no credit, or "its theirs" then theres little else I can do.

This isn't in effect as of yet, but if things keep progressing as they are, I may have no choice.

On a slightly more nicer note, my 3D Shiny Volcarona is coming along nicely. I'm having trouble with the card though; can't decide on old circluar holosheet design or reverse holo (aka SR EX style full art shinyness/textures).
